Kellett School opens dedicated Sixth Form Centre in its 50th anniversary year

Kellett School, the British International School in Hong Kong, is preparing to open a dedicated Sixth Form Centre at The Bay Hub on Kai Cheung Road in August 2026, a move the school describes as a cornerstone of its Vision 2035 ten-year strategic plan. The new facility, connected by a footbridge to the existing Kowloon Bay campus, will serve as the permanent home for the school's Year 11 and 12 cohorts, pending formal approval from the Hong Kong Education Bureau (EDB).

The purpose-built space is designed to replicate the environment of a university campus. It will include more than a dozen classrooms, state-of-the-art independent and collaborative study areas, a small lecture theatre, examination rooms, higher education counselling suites and social spaces. The centre is intended to accommodate up to 240 sixth-form students.

A Level results underpin expansion case

Kellett has long maintained an A Level programme alongside a broader British curriculum stretching from Reception to Year 13. In 2025, 81 students sat A Levels and 60.6 per cent achieved A* or A grades, a figure the school cites as evidence that dedicated post-16 facilities are warranted. As Top Schools Admissions has noted, the school operates as a registered not-for-profit association and reinvests all fee income into its facilities and programmes, a governance structure that distinguishes it from many commercially-run international schools in the territory.

Annual fees for the 2025–26 academic year stand at HK$208,800 for preparatory pupils, rising to HK$259,600 for Years 7–11 and HK$267,100 for Sixth Form. The school's classes for 2026–27 have already been reported as full, pointing to robust demand even as the wider Hong Kong international school market contends with population shifts in the expatriate community.

Milestone year

The Sixth Form Centre opening coincides with Kellett celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, having been founded in 1976 by parents seeking a British-style education for Hong Kong's English-speaking community. The school educates over 1,400 students across campuses in Pok Fu Lam and Kowloon Bay, and was rated outstanding across every category in a British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspection carried out in 2023. A major refurbishment of the original Pok Fu Lam campus is also planned to begin in summer 2026, covering classrooms, the library, gym and new music, dining and multi-learning facilities.
